Judge orders man not to have more children

(NEWS TRIBUNE) A judge in Wisconsin has ordered a Hayward man to not have any more children as part of his sentence for failing to pay child support.

Judge Eugene Harrington also ordered that John J. Butler reveal within three minutes of meeting any female that he is a convicted felon and has unpaid child support. The two-year probation sentence was handed down Jan. 9 after Butler, 28, pleaded no contest in October to felony failure to pay child support for more than 120 days in 2011.

Harrington’s other conditions of probation are maintaining full-time employment, making child-support payments, counseling and sobriety. When reached at home Wednesday, the judge said he had no comment on the ruling.
